The Light Daily Devotional – You Must be Born Again

Focus: You Must be Born Again

The word for today

When a man becomes born again that is when he will begin to see the Kingdom of God!

Scriptural Reference

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3 KJV)

God is powerful, wonderful, awesome, glorious, gracious, marvelous and faithful. The real attributes of God can only be seen in the domain of His reign. To understand and have an experience of the real personality of God you must be born again. 

Many men engage in several religious activities but never at any point in time experience God. The knowledge they have about Him does not go beyond what they are told or read in the scriptures. They, at one time or the other accepted Him in response to the good news they heard but ignored His principle to walk in their own way.

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13).

If you have truly accepted Him that implies that you have accepted Him in His way of life and principles. This qualifies and enables you to be a child of God. It also gives you the required understanding about spiritual things.

Each time you see people behaving irrationally, living in sin and fail to submit to God’s will; what happened is that they have not seen the kingdom of God. If the things of God are still boring to you and you still find it very difficult to abandon your sinful lifestyle you are not born again and the power of God that transforms a man is yet to find a place in your life.

Meditation: Are you born again? 

Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to see more of you as we submit to you and your principles in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Emphasis: If you must see God both in life and eternity you must be born again!

Have a Graceful Wednesday!
